Archimedes ESS (Engineering Support System) is a first attempt to provide a reference implementation for the MIM paradigm. The Archimedes ESS is a Toolkit that supports the construction of  IEC[1] 61499-compliant Function Block based design models for distributed control and automation and their subsequent transformation to executable systems.  

Archimedes ESS is constructed using the Generic Modeling Environment (GME), a configurable toolkit for creating domain-specific modelling and program synthesis environments.

Archimedes in its current form appears as a modeling paradigm in GME that defines the control and automation family of FB-based models that can be created using the resultant modelling environment, i.e., the Archimedes ESS.

Archimedes ESS supports many execution environments. Each execution environment is supported by a specific package called Archimedes eXecution Environment (AXE) package. RTSJ-AXE is the package that allows Archimedes to exploit RTSJ for the execution of FB-based DCSs.
